Took a drive to Diary Farm area today to look at one of the development I bought into back in 2012, and I noticed one of our companys project (The Skywoods) along Diary Farm Rd is also fast into construction although launched much later. Many people asked me why do I buy into this area, since there are many other choices out there back then. Well, besides the fact that I grew up in this area, I feel that this area gives a very comfortable home feel with the proximity to the nature reserve. Skywoods is near MRT Too bad it wasnt available when I bought my property, else I would definitely buy nearer to the MRT. HillV2 Mall This magnificent mall is almost ready! With lotsa of established anchor tenants. I cant wait to spend many weekends having brunch or coffee at Dean & Deluca and chill in the mall. Existing RailMall Ive always enjoyed going to Toastbox there, or sometimes buying groceries at Cold Storage. The free parking there is definitely a perk. Future Plan - URA Looking at the URA Masterplan2014, there are at least 6 more plots of residential land yet to be bidded. These are definitely opportunities to bring up the prices in future. I also noticed that there is a pink plot that is gonna offer retail on the first floor, which is added convenience to residents there. Not to mention the 2 plots allocated for Educational Institutes, may be good opportunity for prices to appreciate in future too. Prices now Again, too bad Ive bought in 2012 (but its more important that I secured a rare unit within the development), today we see developers giving good discounts for buyers to enter the market. Im not saying that prices is definitely shooting up in a couple of months time (who knows?), but Im very optimistic with the further future (5 years or more), that prices will be held up by further developments in the area. (Anyway, SSD will have us keeping our property for at least 4 years, in my own opinion) If you like to know more about the potential and opportunities in this area, and why you should take advantage of the window period to secure a good unit, drop me a message & we can meet up over coffee!
